1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,200 Oh yeah, the writer said to let my words be few because he's in 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,080 heaven and we're here on earth. Amen. 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,960 And sometimes just being in his presence does render us 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,800 speechless. Hallelujah tonight, Amen. 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,120 Good to see each one of you. And again, we are going to just 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,920 continue rejoicing all day. Amen for Xavier and being 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,560 baptized, the lovely name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,360 Amen. Do you remember when you were 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,360 baptized? Do you remember what you 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,240 experienced? Amen. 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,960 And how maybe you felt just clean being washed away with all 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,640 of those sins, Amen. It's always amazing to me to see 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,160 people's faces where they come out of the water, different ones 14 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:50,480 over times, countenances are are changed and you can see just 15 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,760 almost of the burden have been lifted off their life in the 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,440 moment that they've been baptized in the lovely name of 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,480 Jesus Christ, Amen. And so we're thankful tonight 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,760 for that Hallelujah, Amen.

Thank you Jesus. 71 00:10:44,390 --> 00:10:53,750 And Hallelujah, disciples asked. The Lord in Matthew 25 said When 72 00:10:53,750 --> 00:11:01,110 did we come and visit you? He said When I was in prison, he 73 00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:04,680 said you came. And he that done it unto the 74 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,720 least of these have done it unto me. 75 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:17,200 Hallelujah, I love him tonight. Hallelujah, I love him tonight. 76 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Thank you Jesus. It's not who baptizes you, it's 77 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,960 whose name you're baptized in. There's all kinds of controversy 78 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,440 in New Testament Scriptures, some saying they were baptized 79 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,720 of Apollos and others of Paul and some of Cephas. 80 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,200 But the apostle said he said you need to be baptized in the name 81 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,160 whose whose name was you baptized? 82 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,080 And said you got to be baptized in the name of the one that was 83 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040 crucified for you. So what? 84 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,160 He asked him. He said you got to be baptized 85 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,320 in the name of the one that was crucified for you. 86 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,120 Paulus wasn't crucified for you. Cephas wasn't crucified for you. 87 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,880 There's no other individual that was crucified you but the Lord 88 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,200 Jesus Christ. That's the name that you're 89 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,080 baptized in. You're baptized in the name of 90 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,640 the one that was crucified for you. 91 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,880 I'll take that name in baptism. I'll take that name in baptism. 92 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:14,720 Hallelujah. Amen. 93 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:25,880 Phyllis Presence. I don't want to get ahead of 94 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,200 God. I don't want to linger behind 95 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,240 God right now, what I'm looking at that I have prepared to 96 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,720 preach. I'm wondering, God, is this even 97 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,880 right for what we're experiencing right in the 98 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:47,160 moment? This presence. 99 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:58,280 This presence. Amen. 100 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,560 God, what do you want to do? God, what do you want to do? 101 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,800 You carry this truth. You carry my word. 102 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:36,350 Do not. Keep it. 103 00:13:49,960 --> 00:14:00,940 I'm free to speak, for when words that ye shall speak, For I 104 00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:07,580 desire all to come unto me, but ye shall be the Ave. in the 105 00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:10,460 vehicle by which I spread my word. 106 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:16,540 I say unto thee, Be not afraid of rejection, for there are 107 00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:22,180 people that are hungry that know not what they seek, but ye have 108 00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:27,840 knowledge of what they. So I say unto thee, be bold, be 109 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,600 brave, walk in my spirit, and speak the words of life for 110 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:39,080 those who are drowning without hope in this hour, I say unto 111 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,920 thee, Be not afraid, open your mouth, and I, the Lord, shall 112 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:55,080 fill it with the words of life. Yeah, let's respond to that 113 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,240 tonight in a way that will be appropriate. 114 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,880 From your life to his father, I love you. 115 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:36,000 In the name. Of. 116 00:15:49,000 --> 00:16:00,280 Jesus. I love you, Lord, I love you, 117 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,720 Lord, I love you, Lord, I love you, Lord, I love you, Lord, I 118 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,520 love you, Lord, I love you, Lord, Hallelujah. 119 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,240 I love you Jesus. I love you Jesus. 120 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,320 I love you Jesus. Hallelujah. 121 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,680 Jesus said in the the book of John. 122 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,480 He said, if I be lifted up from the earth signifying what death 123 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,120 he should die. The gospel said, he said, I'll 124 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,600 draw all men, I'll draw all men unto me. 125 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000 He was lifted up in the way that he was describing in the gospel 126 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,040 at Calvary. It caused the draw upon mankind, 127 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,080 some with impure motives being drawn, others with a curiosity 128 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,680 being drawn. But the drawing started at 129 00:16:53,680 --> 00:17:03,840 Calvary and it hasn't stopped. What that means is when you 130 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,680 converse with people we talk about out of our bellies afloat, 131 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,640 and it does. But what that means is you're 132 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,079 already talking to someone. The Spirit has been drawing 133 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:35,960 since Calvary. It's already drawn the way that 134 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,240 I envision it right now, tonight, let alone. 135 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,440 It's just like he's already got a rope on all those people and 136 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,320 he's pulling. But you know what happens 137 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,040 whenever I enter into what? He's already doing. 138 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,840 I'm just putting my hands on the rope. 139 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,720 It's just like a tug of war. Because the Bible speaks about. 140 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,080 We're either. Bound by the cords of love or 141 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,320 the cords of sin. And folks every. 142 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,720 Individual across this nation. Is in the. 143 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,920 Middle of a rope of a tug of war. 144 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,160 They're being pulled in One Direction by the. 145 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,480 Courts of. Sin and there's a strong pool 146 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,040 and you know how it is. Sometimes there's the line there 147 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,200 and you're just about ready to go over the line, but all of a 148 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,640 sudden love gets a hold of them. Love gets a hold of the other 149 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,080 side and puts a strong pool and they're just there between 2 150 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,080 worlds. We need more hands on the rope. 151 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:27,760 We need more hands on the rope. We need more hands on the rope. 152 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,080 There's a pool, there's a drone, but God's calling for more hands 153 00:18:37,360 --> 00:19:10,040 on the rope. More hands on the rope. 154 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,920 I believe every new interaction is another tug. 155 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,800 Every new interaction, every, every conversation that's had 156 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,720 again is just another tug, another tug on the rope. 157 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,880 Same to me. What I'm saying this, I've been 158 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,280 in this town since 2007 as many of you. 159 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,920 I've talked to a lot of people, rubbed a lot of shoulders, got 160 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,760 to know and a lot of people have good friendships with them. 161 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,120 But every conversation Sister Sheila you have is just another 162 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,400 tug on the rope. Just another pool on the rope. 163 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Hallelujah. And I just. 164 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,760 Believe enough in God that this tug is not going to turn into a 165 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,960 stalemate where there's no winners or no losers. 166 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,640 I believe God has ordained A tug and a pool of lives in this city 167 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:06,280 that he's going to win over through you through I believe 168 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,720 it. I believe it. 169 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,200 I believe it. Sometimes it takes time. 170 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,320 There's been an old girl I've been working on ever since I've 171 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,360 been before I got married. I told you all this story 1000 172 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,280 times. I was working at Emgees at the 173 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,520 time, packaging plant. Matter of fact, believe this, me 174 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,960 and the good Doctor Mason both worked there at the same time. 175 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,080 That was before he had any letters behind his name. 176 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,800 Already had Jr. Junior hasn't left me. 177 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,920 That's working in that packaging plant. 178 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,920 We're doing Arby's roast beef. Putting roast beef, folks, 179 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,960 whenever it comes out, it don't look like what's on your plate. 180 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,920 OK? We were working. 181 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,400 I worked a night shift. This girl down on the line. 182 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,480 We were both young. Then she started talking about 183 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,040 some things concerning her child. 184 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,280 She had a child already. I spoke some things back to her. 185 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,280 And I. Felt to speak, tears start 186 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,680 twinkle down her face on each side. 187 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,520 She broke down and begin to cry on that line. 188 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,800 For the past now 28 years or 29 years, I come in contact with 189 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,200 her. I've come in contact with her 190 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,320 for almost 30 years over and over again, and I always call 191 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,800 her by name. I asked her how she's doing. 192 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:41,920 I invite her to church. So you ought to come. 193 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:45,720 You know where we're at. Whenever your mom died, she came 194 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760 to the visitation. She was at that time I think had 195 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,640 worked at Adda somewhere along the way, had been with your mom. 196 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,600 She came in there. I said I ain't go say her name 197 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,120 over here on live. But I said, girl, I said you 198 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,920 have no excuses. You know exactly where I'm at. 199 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,840 This is the church that I pastor and you have no excuses. 200 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,040 I seen her right before Easter, right before Easter in Walmart, 201 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,760 hollered back at her again. We now are both a little bit 202 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,800 more age. She has grandchildren, all that. 203 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,200 And I said, when are you going to come to church? 204 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,560 Easter's coming, you know that. And and then my wife said. 205 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,120 Is there anything that we can do to pray? 206 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,800 For you. Again, almost every time I've 207 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,320 ever talked to her. Tears come in her eyes and start 208 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,400 coming down her cheek. What are you doing? 209 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,040 Every talks another pool on the rope. 210 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Every invitation is another pool on the rope. 211 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,560 You know what I believe? If she. 212 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,320 Ever came in this place and experience the Spirit? 213 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,240 Of the Lord it would be game over if she can start crying 214 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,840 just with me and her having a conversation it would be game 215 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:51,280 over because my God since Calvary has been pulling for her 216 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,320 and I feel the holy. Ghost right here. 217 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,880 Pulling for her. Some of y'all have lost family 218 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,920 pulling on the rope, you know. What they know. 219 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,640 They know what that tug feels like. 220 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,800 If they've ever sat on in a church view, they know. 221 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,240 What that tug feels like and. They're a little. 222 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:29,400 Too persuaded that I got to stay clear because if I. 223 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,480 If I ever tell them, I'll. Show up. 224 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,680 I'm going to feel that familiar tug. 225 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,400 It's going to touch those soft regions of my heart that's 226 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,920 longing for that drink that I used to have just at my arm's 227 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:56,960 distance all the time. So what do we do? 228 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,720 We invite. Them to summer kickoffs then, 229 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,600 and we invite them to annual chili suppers and we invite them 230 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,240 to. Maybe not a church setting, but 231 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,360 you know what? We're a grace and and some 232 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:08,240 other. People that don't. 233 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,160 Necessarily know them real well. Can just. 234 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:44,400 Put a tug. Let's raise our hands right now 235 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600 to the Lord. His Spirit is here. 236 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,480 I'm just trying to be. Obedient to the Lord. 237 00:24:48,480 --> 00:25:18,880 In a moment right here. Thank you, Jesus. 238 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:44,360 Thank you Jesus.

Brother Reese travelled with me, 283 00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:10,150 Brother Alex was there. We had some talks there that day 284 00:34:10,150 --> 00:34:15,719 and one of the individuals that was spoke, I heard him and his 285 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,199 wife speak on this before. The Troy Bibbs talking about 286 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:23,880 when they went through a period of time in their literal lives 287 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,000 where they were trying to have children, couldn't have 288 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,159 children. And I believe it was Brother 289 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:37,080 Lang that said, so why don't you go buy a car seat? 290 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,040 Don't you carry that car seat everywhere you go? 291 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,639 Put it in the car, take it to restaurants when you eat, take 292 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:49,440 it everywhere you go. They did went through the wall 293 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,639 and pull it back out, take stones and set it in the middle 294 00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:59,040 of a river and then take them on the bank, I feel like. 295 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,800 And they got their baby, by the way, it took years, but they got 296 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,240 their baby. I feel in the Holy Ghost 297 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:10,280 tonight, those that I'm not looking for you to have a baby, 298 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,840 but if that happens, glory to God if you need one. 299 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,120 But I'm wondering, I don't care if it's if it's real, if it's a 300 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,240 baby one, it don't matter to me, but I just want you to start 301 00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:29,560 carrying around for the babies here, carried around for the 302 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,600 babies here. Oh, how stupid. 303 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,920 Brother me. I'm just telling you what I feel 304 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,400 impressed in the Holy Ghost right now. 305 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,560 Start carrying around. What in the world are we doing? 306 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,440 I know it sounds allow me to be foolish, but let's carry it 307 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,760 around. Bring it to church and set it 308 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:54,200 beside you. Bring it to church and set it 309 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,000 beside you with anticipation that they will be sitting beside 310 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,560 you. A new baby in Christ. 311 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:13,440 Yeah. Whatever that. 312 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,440 Looks like to you, if it's not a car seat, there's something else 313 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,200 that embolizes that to you. So be it. 314 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,680 Amen. But, but let's, let's do that. 315 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,760 I just spell to the Holy Ghost that maybe we just need to do 316 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:35,840 that. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus 317 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:53,760 do it.
